[QUOTE="StrojanHerefords, post: 1848338, member: 42988"] When I was a kid, we had a bull inadvertently breed a bunch of his daughters because the bull that was supposed to breed those females turned out to be a dud. The calves where for the most part ok but there were a few that didn't keep up. Those are the ones that we saw. There is a hidden danger of a lethal defect causing an abortion that will never be seen. As a purebred breeder, my philosophy is that I don't mind a bit of incidental inbreeding but I don't want to tie too closely to just one animal. So I make it a practice to use several bulls AI and to also use multi-sire breeding groups. For commercial cows, crossbreeding is your friend, there is too much of a benefit to crossbreeding to not do that in a commercial setting. [/QUOTE]
